Attachment Focused Treatment Institute Growing

The Attachment Focused Treatment Institute's Certification is growing by leaps and bounds. We have quite a large group on the listserv. Of that group there are about 20 Certified Attachment-Focused Psychotherapists and Family Therapists and five certified Attachment-Focused Consultants. There are two Certified Attachment-Focused Organizations and three in process.
The Institute, based at the Academy for Human Development, a University in Singapore, is the one of the few certification programs that is University based. The program certifies therapists who practice Attachment-Focused Treatments, such as Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy.

Our SKYPE Master Class has become extremely popular. We currently have three clinics of a large California agency doing one, an outpatient mental health clinic in the upper midwest, and several others. The class is an easy convenient way for people to get the necessary hours to become proficient in the practice of Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy and then become Certified Attachment-Focused Family Therapists or Attachment-Focused Psychotherapists.

It would seem that as the class becomes more well known it is becoming more popular. People seem to like the fact that they can get 48 to 56 hours of training, which they need to become certified as practitioners of Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy and Attachment-Focused Treatment, without having to spend a week traveling and staying somewhere. In addition, since the training occurs at your own pace, the learning is much deeper than typical 4-day to week classes. You have a chance to practice between sessions and go as fast or slow as you like.
